I currently have the full leather option for my center console and wanted to exchange it for a painted black one, but was curious to see what other options everyone went with... Not sure how Carbon Fiber or Alumalook would look with black interior, so pictures would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance and any input would be helpful!

I have the carbon, sorry no pics handy to post, but I dig it. However doing it again I would brighten the cabin up a bit. I did the red belts and small carbon package + carbon center console.

thanks for the pics, now if someone has a painted black one that would make my decision a lot easier
RTEAMSTRADALE & Fast997S:
if you guys had to do it over again would you still do the CF center? I'm kind leaning away from it simply because there's nothing in my car CF and I don't know if it will even be noticeable with an all black interior. decisions decisions!!!

100% for me it's not even a close decision. I also have a CF interior in my F430 after having a ton of it in my Challenge Stradale. RE: "noticeable" - W/ CF you definitely notice it when looking but it's not something that takes away from the cohesiveness & craftsmanship of the whole interior. It's subtle & compliments the leather/aluminum. RE: In a black interior - That's where it looks best imo. CF is a high tech/racing type look, imho black is the best color for this. When you see inside race cars the interiors are almost always black, many times w/ CF. Black is usually the color for specialized models from high end exotics that use a lot of CF like the Stradale, Scuderia, CGT, Enzo, Superleggera, etc, etc.
RE: 'Nothing in your car CF' - You could easily add other Porsche OEM CF pieces. On some pieces it's actually the less expensive way.
Good luck whatever you decide!

i've actually been pm'd quite a few times concerning that and to be honest not sure yet until i find another center console. concerning price, my window sticker states its a $1580 option so i may price it at half that if thats reasonable.
